Evaluating the efficacy of a centrifugation-flotation method for extracting Ascaris ova from soil

Conclusions The present study identified a low recovery rate for an adapted centrifugation-flotation method, although this was similar to the recovery rate demonstrated by other methods developed for soil. Soil organic matter content was significantly associated with ova recovery rates.
